Fans at Angel Stadium can look forward to a spike in home runs this season, after the team announced that it will be lowering the home run boundary on the right field wall to five feet. According to MLB.com, the expectation is that there will be 8.5 percent more home runs this season, though the wall itself will remain 18 feet high. That 8.5 percent translates into about 16 more home runs per season.
